- The
State of Higher Education in the World Today
Around the world higher education is being shaken by profound
changes. Exploding enrollments over the last decade are putting
severe financial strains on tertiary systems. At the same time,
computers and the internet have allowed previously unimaginable
forms of global knowledge transfer. Institutions are becoming
increasingly competitive, vying for scarce resources at home and
for the rapidly growing numbers of students studying outside their
own countries. Universities, including a rapidly growing number
of private universities, are making international partnerships,
and opening academic programs and even branches in other countries
as never before.

Weimar Summer Courses, “Milestones of Democracy –
European Memories 2009” (Germany)
The Weimar Jena Akademie in partnership with the Bauhaus Universität
Weimar and co-financed by the European Union, is organizing its
10th edition of the Weimar Summer Courses. The Weimar Summer Courses
will offer around 80 participants from different countries a two
week program of diverse activities in small work groups which
will include seminars, lectures, workshops and discussion circles
in English, but also excursions, visits to museums, exhibitions
and other cultural sites in Weimar. There will be three parallel
and cross-sector courses on Philosophy, Art and Sustainability,
and Media and Society. The aim of these courses is to recall historical
experiences of the development of democracy in Europe and use
the knowledge they provide in order to envisage future developments.
The courses will specifically address important anniversaries
for 2009, such as: the creation of the Weimar Republic and the
foundation of the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1919; the peaceful revolution
in 1989; as well as Schiller's and Goethe's birthdays.

- Message
from Mr. Taleb Rifai, UNWTO Secretary-General on the occasion
of World Tourism Day 2009 - Celebrating Diversity (27 September
2009)
World Tourism Day (WTD) will commemorate its 30th anniversary
this year. The
celebration will be hosted by one of our first Member States,
Ghana, under the theme
‘Tourism - Celebrating Diversity’. Diversity is one
of the driving forces behind tourism and can allow all nations
to share the numerous benefits brought about by building stronger
ties with other countries. As such, tourism is an undisputed catalyst
for building understanding, fostering social inclusion and promoting
higher standards of living. This type of unity and collaboration
is increasingly important as the world comes together to face
climate change and ensure sustainable development, particularly
in the context of the current economic crisis. These worldwide
partnerships allow for a more effective and global response to
issues which concern us all...
- The
Portal of Culture of Latin American and the Caribbean
The Project ¨Virtual Forum of Ministers of Culture and Officials
in Charge of Cultural Policies of Latin America and the Caribbean¨
of the Forum of Ministers of Culture was presented by the delegation
from the Dominican Republic to the 12th Forum of ministers held
in that country from 22-24 March 2001. From that moment on it
was unanimously welcomed with great enthusiasm by all the Member
Countries. The initial concept of the project was to establish
an extension of the Forum of ministers within the virtual space,
allowing at the same time a more systematic, permanent, dynamic
and articulated work. Likewise, among its objectives, we have
the purpose of promoting the intercultural dialogue and pluralism,
to contribute to the regional integration, based on the use of
new information and communication technologies. For the implementation
of this important regional project, the Forum of Ministers requested
in an immediate way the support and cooperation of the Regional
Office for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean of UNESCO.
Later on, during the operational stage of this project, and with
the contribution given by UNESCO, its original conception was
enhanced until it became in the establishment of the "The
Portal of Culture of Latin American and the Caribbean", which
naturally includes the original conception, but that allows to
go beyond this.
- Regional
Network of Institutions for Research on Afro-American Religions
The Regional Network of Institutions for Research on Afro-American
Religions, comprising numerous institutions from Latin America
and the Caribbean studying these subjects, was created in March
2004 within the framework of UNESCO’s international project
“The Slave Route”. The project is being implemented
and financed by the UNESCO Regional Office for Culture in Latin
America and the Caribbean, with the support of the Fundación
Fernando Ortiz, a Cuban NGO devoted to anthropological and socio-cultural
studies as well as the coordination in Cuba of project “The
Slave Route”. The Regional Network of Institutions for Research
on Afro-American Religions has been created to facilitate multidisciplinary
studies and research on Latin American and Caribbean religions
of African origin, components of the cultural heritage of the
region, whose significance and influence have marked the cultural
identities of most of their peoples.
- UNESCO
World Conference on Higher Education to address global challenges
Over 1,000 participants will discuss the future of Higher Education
and research at the 2009 World Conference on Higher Education,
to be held at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris from 5 to 8 July. They
will review trends from rapid growth in student numbers to the
surge in private provision, address emerging new dynamics and
their policy implications, examine the social responsibility of
higher education, and recommend measures to promote equity and
stimulate innovation and research.
22 June
- International
Year of Astronomy at UNESCO: Three scientific events about the
invisible universe
Most of the universe is invisible to human eyes and to our
most advanced observation devices. What is dark matter and what
is dark energy? Our understanding of the physical world will be
revolutionized the day we discover the answers to these two questions,
which will be central to the “Invisible Universe”
programme presented at UNESCO from 29 June to 10 July, as part
of the International Year of Astronomy celebration.“Invisible
Universe” is a set of three scientific events: an exhibition,
a specialists’ symposium (in English) and a public symposium
(in French).
- Symposium:
Which is the cultural history of Brazil?
This seminar, organized by the “Association for research
in Brazil in Europe” (ARBRE) gathers a group of Brazilian
and French researchers. The topic of discussion is focused on
the proposals of the different topics that make up the state of
cultural history of Brazil, as well as a reflection on the way
this is produced on both sides of the Atlantic.
17 June
- Culture,
sustainable development and local Authorities: what challenges
for the next decade?
Recognised by the Porto Alegre world forum in May 2004 as
the fourth pillar of sustainable development, on the same level
as economic development, social development and protection of
the environment, culture is now the object of an Agenda 21 presented
in Barcelona in 2004 and supported by United Cities and Local
Governments. This agenda or programme of reflection and action
for the 21st century is particularly addressed to local authorities
and constitutes a complementary working document to the Unesco
convention for the protection and the promotion of diversity in
cultural expressions. This one-day encounter will enable art and
culture professionals to report on their initiatives concerning
Agenda 21 for Culture, but also to learn about successful practices
and to have access to resources made available through experiments,
studies and research in this field. The question will be approached
from the local and the international level, with contributors
from Catalonia, France, Canada and South America.
- EU/CULTURE:
European Capitals of Culture 2012 and 2013 designated
On 12 May, in the context of the 2941st Education, Youth and Culture
meeting, the Council of the EU designated the cities of Guimarães
(Portugal) and Maribor (Slovenia) to be the European
Capitals of Culture in 2012, followed by Marseille
(France) and Košice (Slovakia) in 2013.
The formal designation is only the beginning of a process leading
up to the year as a European Capital. The preparations lasting
several years are decisive for the eventual success of the event,
which depends on the commitment of state and municipal governments.
The event generates considerable cultural and socio-economic benefits,
including positive effects on tourism. That is why a monitoring
and advisory panel – organised by the European Commission
– is to help the cities during the preparation period. Following
Vilnius and Linz this year, the next European Capitals of Culture
will be Essen, Pécs and Istanbul in 2010, and Turku and
Tallinn in 2011.
15 June
- Buenos
Aires named “World Book Capital 2011”

on 12 June at UNESCO in Paris. Buenos Aires is the eleventh city
to be designated World Book Capital, after Madrid (2001), Alexandria
(2002), New Delhi (2003), Antwerp (2004), Montreal (2005), Turin
(2006), Bogotá (2007), Amsterdam (2008), Beirut (2009)
and Ljubljana (2010).

- Australian
National University (ANU) - Cultural and Environmental Heritage
The Cultural and Environmental Heritage specialisation provides
a focused, national and international outlook on contemporary
cultural and environmental practice. It enables students to explore
connections between natural or environmental heritage and cultural
heritage, and reflects contemporary demands for professional understandings
that enable a much more comprehensive and mutually-informing approach
to environmental concepts. In all aspects of the courses, there
will be opportunities for detailed examination of current examples
of professional practice. Students will be encouraged to either
research aspects of key projects already underway in the ANU or
incorporate existing workplace or other contemporary projects
into their program. The ability to place and mentor students through
the established internship mechanisms will be utilised to provide
practical links with major projects, government departments and
national institutions. In this way, the emphasis in the stream
will be strongly on the intersection and interplay between academic,
policy and industry professional practice in cultural and environmental
heritage.
- Observatory

- Planning
for Cultural Diversity: Fundamentals of Education Planning N°
87
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, there is continuing
debate about education in a culturally diverse society. How to
ensure educational equality, rights to cultural maintenance and
full social participation of minority groups, while ensuring social
harmony and national development within a democratic society,
is a major challenge for education policy-makers. Traditionally,
this is viewed as a debate for pedagogues. Nevertheless, there
are important implications for educational planners and managers.

Pratiques
émancipatrices : Actualités de Paulo Freire
Collection : Nouveaux regards
Langue : Français
ISBN-10: 2849502049
Le livre « Pratiques émancipatrices – Actualités
de Paulo Freire », vient d’être publié en
coédition entre les éditions Syllepse et Nouveaux Regards,
est le produit d’une réflexion menée à
partir d’expériences à dimensions sociales, culturelles
et politiques d’Amérique, d’Europe et d’Afrique.
Plusieurs réunions, réalisées avec l’appui
de l’Unesco en 2002 et 2003, ont permis de connaître plus
d’une soixantaine d’expériences actuelles qui peuvent
se référer à la pensée et à l’action
de Paulo Freire. Leur approfondissement et leur confrontation, avec
les acteurs concernés, a permis d’éclaircir les
concepts qui les sous-tendaient et de dégager les stratégies
et outils utilisés dans ces pratiques. Les auteurs de l’ouvrage
considèrent sa publication comme une étape dans un processus
de travail en réseau qui vise à construire ensemble
des connaissances utiles pour l’action et la réflexion
sur les pratiques d’émancipation et à renforcer
les réseaux impliqués dans ces pratiques. Grâce
au soutien du programme MOST de l’UNESCO, Germán Solinis
a accompagné le processus et préfacé l’ouvrage.
Avec les auteurs, Henryane de Chaponay, Nicole Desgroppes, Françoise
Garibay, Claire Héber-Suffrin, Michel Séguier et Paul
Taylor, l’UNESCO vous invite à participer à une
rencontre, le lundi 22 juin 2009. |

Learning
and Knowing in Indigenous Societies Today
Authors: Bates, Peter; Chiba, Moe; Kube, Sabine; Nakashima,
Douglas
Year: 2009
The loss of their specialised knowledge of nature is a grave concern
for many indigenous communities throughout the world. Education,
as it is understood in a Western context, occupies a pivotal role
in this process, highlighted by many as both a major cause of the
decline of indigenous knowledge, and also as a potential remedy
for its demise. Commendable efforts are being made to better align
educational curricula with indigenous realities and to incorporate
local knowledge and language content into school curricula, but
the interrelationship and balance between these two different ways
of learning remain delicate. These issues, and attempts to address
them, are explored within the UNESCO publication Learning and Knowing
in Indigenous Societies Today

on "Urban Policies and the Right to the City. Towards Good
Governance and Local Democracy."
An international research project of UN-HABITAT and UNESCO.
Launched March 2005. Cities are engines of growth and provide major
opportunities for social advancement and economic development. Today,
however, they also represent high levels of inequality and significant
concentrations of poverty. The current global trends in urbanization
and globalization imply nothing less than the urbanization of poverty
and social exclusion.
50,000
Norwegian books available on the net
The Norwegian National Library has just made 50,000 Norwegian books
accessible on the net - at no charge and perfectly legal. The service,
Bokhylla.no was officially opened by Minister of Culture Trond Giske.
Based on the results of the High North Project, the National Library
through this project will make available on the Internet all books
published in Norway through three decades, namely those between
1790-99, 1890-99 and 1990-99. During a three year period, the public
will get easy access to a considerable body of Norwegian literature,
around 50,000 books. 10,000 books were made available when the service
opened. "The project will provide new and important information,
and will be an important step on the road towards permanent solutions
for net access to literature", says National Librarian Vigdis
Moe Skarstein. The Minister of Culture affirmed that Bokhylla in
itself is a great project. Making the cultural heritage accessible
is important and the project serves as a model for others.

Revolution
or Renaissance. Making the Transition from an Economic Age to a
Cultural Age
Paul Schafer, 2009
Two years after the first edition of the book, in Chinese, Paul
Schafer publishes the English version. From a detailed and historically
sensitive analysis of economics and culture, Schafer foresees a
world system of the future where culture is the central focus of
development. According to him, a transition from an economic to
a cultural age is imperative for global harmony, environmental sustainability,
economic viability, and human well-being. Paul Schafer has worked
in the cultural field for four decades, taught at York University
and the University of Toronto, and undertaken a number of missions
for UNESCO. He is director of the World Culture Project. |
